BREAD MIXER ANTD KNEADER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALoNzo A. WARNER, a citizen 'of the-United States, residing at New Britain, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain newand useful Improvements in Bread Mixers and Kneaders, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in bread mixers and kneaders and analogous mixing-machines; and the objects of the improvement are simplicity and economy 1n construction and convenience and efiiclenc-y in use, particularly with reference to the holder for the vessel and its shaft-bearing arm.

In the accompanyin drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of t e machine with the holder and shaft-bearing arm in place, but not attached to a shelf or table. Fig. 2 is a vertical section. of the machine on the line a: q; of Fig. 1, the clamp-screw, set-screw, and part of the shaft-bearing arm, with attached parts, being shown in elevation. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the machine, one side of the vessel being broken away and a portion.

of the vessel in section to better show the holder;

A designates the vessel of a tapering form with a heavy top rim 4 and handles 5, the same being an ordinary form'of vessel now in common use. N 0 change in or addition to this vessel is required in order to use it with the herein-described holder and shaftbearing arm. I

The holder 6 is provided with upper and lower clamp-arms 7 7 and 8, the latter having an ordinary clamp-screw 9, by means of which the holder may'be clamped to the edge of an ordinary table, shelf, bench, or support in the ordinary manner of clamping articles to a support. There are two of the upper clamp-arms 7 7, as shown; but this is on y for the purpose of saving metal, and the two constitute, in effect, a single clamp-arm, actin in opposition to the lower clamp-arm 8 an performin thereby their onl essential function. T e face of the ho] er 6 on the side opposite that from which the clamparms roject is curved so as to substantially fit an engage the side of the vessel A for Specification of Letters Patent.

the whole le gth of the said holder. EX- tendin laterally each way from the body of the ho der are the holding-arms 10, which also curve to fit the side of the vessel, while their outer ends are each provided with a seat 11, Fig. 3, for the under side of the rim 4 of the vessel to rest upon. Projecting upwardly and inwardly from the body of the holder is an extension 12, from the under side of which depends a holding-lug 13, that is designed to engage the inner face of the rim of the Vessel and to retain the vessel firmly on the holder, 'as shown. The under side of the extension 12 is sufficiently above the lower end of the holding-lug 13 and the face of the holder back of and below the said lug is cut away sufficiently to admit the rim 4 of the vessel, as shown. In order to connect the vessel with the holder, the vessel is first tilted into substantially the position indicated by broken lines in Fig. 2, so as to carry therim of the vessel under the lower end ofthe holding-lug 13 and to the rear of the said lug, after which the vessel is lowered to its proper position and the rim moves up into place behind the said lug, as best shown in Flg. 2. Projecting upwardly from the extension 12 is a post or stud 14, to which the shaft-bearing arm 15' is secured by means of the vertical socket 16 and set-screw 17. The beater 18, its shaft 19, and crank 20 are of an ordinary construction and for which any known equivalent may be substituted.

The vessel is hung upon the holder before the shaft bearing arm is attached. The tightening up of the set-screw brings the arm into its proper position with reference to the vessel and holds the said arm firmly in place, so as to take all the strain ofthe shaft on the holder. This arm is readily removable by loosening the set-screw and lifting it oif from the post 14. The vessel may then be detached from the holder by again lifting or tilting it into the position indicated by broken lines in Fig. 2 and then drawing it; away from the holder. The holder is simple and inexpensive, will receive the ordinary vessel without change or addition, and firmly holds the vessel in place from its upper edge and one side without the employment of any moving or removable parts. The friction of holder having its body the holder on the vessel will ordinarily prevent the vessel from turning; but 1n case 1t should turn such movement will be arrested as soon as one of the handles 5 engages the therefrom, a downwardl -projecting lug for engaging the vessel at t e top inside of its rim, an open space at the upper art of the holder between the said body an lug to enable the rim of the vessel to be assed under the said holding-lug and upwardly into place and to be removed without moving or detaching the said holding-lug, a vertical post projecting upwardly from and above the said lug and open space,- and a shaft-bearing arm therefrom, a downwardly-firm ecting holding- 2 holder having its body provided with a 5 curved face to'fit and engage the side of the vessel just under its'rim and downwardly lugfor engaging the vesse at the top inside of its run, and an open space at the upper part of the holder between the said vessel and lug to enable the rim of the body to be passed under the said holding-lug and u wardly into place, and to be removed with put moving or detaching the said holdingug. 1
